There are many benefits to investing in entrance matting. Whether it’s for a condominium, commercial property, bank, restaurant, or a retail store, matting helps create a safe environment while providing a barrier between the floor and weather-related mess from foot traffic. Entrance matting will prevent dirt, debris, and moisture from entering the building and save your floors from further unnecessary damage. During the ongoing pandemic when extra precautions and physical distancing have become mandatory, directional matting is providing value to clients who need to control how the flow of foot traffic enters and exits the building.
Here are a few advantages to investing in directional matting:
Provides Clear Direction
When visitors enter any building, office, store, or shared space, especially during the ongoing pandemic, they need to know which direction to follow to limit contact with others and keep their 2m distance. With directional matting, visitors, clients, and employees have a clear direction and can keep their 2m distance and know which directions the foot traffic is to flow. Minimal interaction and physical distancing are important to avoid the spread of COVID19 and other communicable illnesses. Directional mats can be rotated to provide directional cues in any direction.
Stays in Place
Our quality directional matting comes with an adhesive backing that keeps the mat flat and in place, even with heavy cart and/or foot traffic. During winter when foot traffic is slushy and wet, poor-quality matting can become dislodged and slide around on wet floors. This movement can cause accidental slip and falls leading to injuries. Directional matting that is installed securely, creates a safe and clean environment for everyone.
Hassle-free
Whether you have a large or small entrance with proper matting installed, adding a quality directional mat will not only keep foot traffic flowing but it will also allow janitorial staff to do their job diligently. Visitors and employees can benefit from directional matting despite the cleaning processes. Mats can be left in place during daily cleaning, without having to pick up and put them back down. Whether the cleaners are busy with floor scrubbers, mops, or vacuums, all cleaning tools will pass right over the mats without causing damage. Regular cleaning will help improve the effectiveness and lifespan of all mats.
Won’t leave residue
Our sturdy directional mats are less likely to leave a sticky residue than floor decals. With physical distancing being mandatory in all public spaces, many companies have resorted to decals, stickers, or duct tape arrows to show the proper flow of direction for visitors. Decals and stickers collect the dirt, debris and dust on the floor and is caught on the adhesive around them, causing the space to look dirty. Physical distancing mats with arrows and directions are designed to stand up to heavy foot traffic areas and to trap dirt, debris, and moisture while having an adhesive on the backing that is meant to be used on hard surface floors, without leaving residue. Directional mats can be custom-made to suit the needs of any client.
Directional matting can help create proper queues for cashiers, customer service counters, and many more needs. Looking for directional mats or interested in finding out more about entrance matting?
